Self-actualization

In layman's terms, self-actualization is when you have reaped the maximum potential out of your personal talents, abilities, creativities and ambitions. Self-actualization only happens when all your lower primal needs have been met (e.g. physiological needs, emotional needs).

While self-actualization initially paints a pretty picture inside your head, do not be fooled as the journey is actually quite excruciating. In order to become fully self-actualized you'd have to push yourself to the limits. You'd have to devote yourself solely towards your ambitions and talents, no slacking or fun and games. The world's biggest entrepreneurs such as Steve Jobs were 100% self-actualized, but boy they were under a lot of stress and often overworked to the core.

In summary, self-actualization is a very good thing, but it's not for the weak-minded.
Me in first year psych: *after learning about the concept* Wow I want to achieve self-actualization!!!

Me in my fourth year: *suddenly realizes that self-actualization takes hard work and pure dedication* Ehh I think I'll just live a chill life

Not actually my President

When all you hear about on the news and social media is Donald Trump and you don't live in America.
I almost never hear about any of my own country's news. All the news has been is Trump this and Trump that and he's not actually my President.
